OpenG2P at MOSIP Connect 2026

Rabat, Morocco

---

OpenG2P was proud to participate in the 3rd edition of MOSIP Connect 2026, held in Rabat. The convening brought together leaders, practitioners, governments, and Digital Public Goods from across the Digital Public Infrastructure ecosystem to exchange ideas, showcase implementations, and explore collaboration.

This year, OpenG2P had multiple opportunities to engage with the community through discussions, workshops, and demonstrations.

OpenG2P was part of the DPG Spotlight session, where Puneet Joshi, CTO at OpenG2P, presented an overview of OpenG2P’s core offerings, highlighting how its modular, open-source building blocks support the delivery of social benefits from government to person. Sharing current country adoptions and implementation experiences, he demonstrated how OpenG2P can be configured to meet diverse policy and delivery contexts. The session also explored future possibilities on how governments can leverage OpenG2P to strengthen foundational registries, enable secure data exchange across systems, and build scalable, interoperable Digital Public Infrastructure tailored to evolving needs.

For those interested in a deeper dive into our work and offerings, we conducted a dedicated workshop, ‘OpenG2P 101,’ that provided a walkthrough of our solutions and interoperability capabilities. The team demonstrated our portals and dashboards to an audience including existing partners, representatives from countries where OpenG2P has been implemented, and potential adopters. The interactive format created a focused space to address questions, explore deployment models, and discuss how OpenG2P can support diverse sectoral use cases.

Vinoth Kumar, Head – Partner Ecosystem and Academy, moderated a panel discussion on ‘Agriculture Use Case,’ with panellists Dr Girum Ketema Teklemariam, Director, Digital Agriculture and Finance, Ethiopian Agricultural Transformation Institute (ATI) and Selamawit Reta from National ID Program (NIDP), Ethiopia.

The importance of linking foundational ID with sectoral registries was emphasised to ensure farmer uniqueness, improve targeting, and enable access to finance. The panel also underscored the fact that a formal ID not only brings dignity to farmers but also enables the Farmer Registry to serve as a trusted source of truth for service providers.

Dr Girum noted that agricultural data often sits in silos and must be unified through OpenG2P’s interoperability capabilities to deliver targeted, contextualised advisory services. OpenG2P’s Farmer Registry was highlighted as a core layer of the AgriStack, enabling trusted data exchange. Financial inclusion emerged as a key use case. Sharing verified farmer data, such as identity, location, and agronomic information, with banks can reduce perceived lending risk and expand credit access for smallholder farmers. The next step discussed was enabling FaydaPass, a digital credential wallet for secure data sharing and verification, with use cases extending beyond agriculture.

The panel also reflected on key technical and policy challenges, including building offline functionality, coordinating stakeholders, mobilising farmers, addressing unclear data governance frameworks, and overcoming poor rural connectivity. They underscored that open source approaches enhance government ownership and build sustainable local capacity – essential for continuously adapting systems to real-world needs.

Vinoth Kumar was part of the “When Identity Starts Delivering for Farmers” session, where he spoke on how sectoral DPIs, such as farmer IDs and registries, can be designed and layered on top of foundational IDs and enable societal impact. The session emphasised practical implementation patterns, governance choices, and ecosystem coordination models that country teams can apply directly.

Vinoth Kumar also highlighted OpenG2P’s work in Ethiopia, where OpenG2P's farmer registry, combined with different datasets, creates a comprehensive Farmer Profile linked to the national ID system (Fayda), enabling a shift from static records to real-time, contextual advisories to support planting, harvesting, yield management, and livestock care.

As part of the DCI Interoperability Standards panel, OpenG2P joined fellow Digital Public Goods, OpenSPP, OpenCRVS, OpenIMIS, and MOSIP. The discussion examined why interoperability standards are essential for DPI ecosystems, how they influence DPG adoption and scalability, and the ways they are being implemented in real-world deployments. Panellists underscored that standards help reduce fragmentation, promote reuse, and lay the foundation for long-term sustainability.

The DCI Interoperability Standards technical workshop featured a live integration demo bringing together OpenG2P, MOSIP, OpenSPP, OpenCRVS, and OpenIMIS. The team demonstrated end-to-end scenarios including birth registration, automatic enrollment into social protection systems, enrollment using verifiable credentials, child enrollment linked to conditional cash transfers, and cross-sector data linking. All integrations were implemented using DCI Standards rather than point-to-point interfaces, highlighting the power of a standards-based approach. The session demonstrated that substantial progress has already been made under the DCI Standards initiative, with DPGs investing significant effort to align with and implement these specifications, with plans to expand to additional cross-sector scenarios.

OpenG2P also participated in the Solution Discovery booth alongside fellow DPGs and technology providers. The booth enabled one-on-one conversations with governments, implementers, and ecosystem partners exploring DPI adoption.

The team also participated in sessions that were part of the unConference. Our experience at MOSIP Connect 2026 was both energising and productive. From technical deep-dives to policy discussions and live interoperability demonstrations, the event reinforced the importance of open standards, trusted registries, and collaborative ecosystems in advancing DPI globally.

We look forward to continuing these conversations, deepening partnerships, and building on the collaborations initiated in Rabat to strengthen inclusive, interoperable digital public infrastructure worldwide.
